Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Ordered to Jail Over Bond Violation
Kwame Kilpatrick, the mayor of Detroit, was ordered to go to jail by a judge on Thursday after breaking the terms of his bond in his perjury case.
Kilpatrick broke his bond agreement by making a business trip to Canada and not informing the court.
Kilpatrick apologized to the court, saying that it won't happen again. However, the judge still ruled for him to spend the night in jail, saying that he would have given the same treatment to any "John Six-Pack" criminal defendant.
Kilpatrick's attorney said they will appeal the ruling during a hearing in circuit court on Friday.
Earlier Thursday, Kilpatrick waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will head to trial on perjury and other criminal charges that could land him in prison for up to 15 years.
Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff Christine Beatty were both charged this spring with lying in court to cover up an extra-marital affair between them, and with disciplining two former cops whose investigation would've exposed their affair.
Kilpatrick and Beatty were charged with perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice due to the scandal. Both deny the charges and face a preliminary examination in September
Both Kilpatrick and Beatty denied under oath having been romantically involved. However, the Detroit Free-Press published a list of text messages between Kilpatrick and Beatty that contradicted their testimony.
